Oh How We Love Our State Fair Food

These heart stoppers come to us from Wisconsin. They’re Krispy Kreme cheeseburgers, and, yes, that means two glazed donuts supplant your traditional bun. According to the Wisconsin State Journal, one is sold for $5 at the state fair. Chip in an additional dollar to top it off with chocolate-covered bacon. Because, why not, right?

Now, being a proud born-and-bred fair goer, I can assure you not everything hailing from the heartland is fried or fatty or life-shortening. It’s just novelty sandwiches are the thing right now, and Wisconsin, always atop the trends, is merely following suit. But what about those cheese curds?

Folks it is time to indulge in the Top 10:
Funnel Cakes
Deep-Fried Twinkies, Snickers & Coca-Cola
Corn Dogs w/ Mustard
Freshly Spun Cotton Candy
Chocolate covered watermelon on-a-stick
Alligator (breaded, deep fried and seasoned)
Buffalo burgers & Elk burgers
Fresh hand-twisted pretzels baked on site
Dippin Dots (super frozen pelletized ice cream confection)
Kettle korn style popcorn
